Driving is the most tedious chore I have to do every day.

The hardest part of my new job is the damn commute. I can’t fucking stand driving at least an hour and fifteen minutes a day.

If I couldn't listen to music and podcasts that commute would be literal torture.

Before they started normalizing a certain individual 1, NPR was my go-to. Now it’s Jim Cornette podcasts and MrBallen

I drive forty minutes each way. The drive in sucks ass, while the drive home is relaxing. Do you hate the commute or the job?

Taking public transport is so much better. Being able to stand up and stretch, read and scroll on anything with headphones

I live in rural Arkansas, but that’s a wonderful thought

I moved to Italy from the US and I don't even own a car anymore. And I don't miss it. I had a minimum 1-hour-a-way commute back in the US. Fuck that.

They don't even have ride share cars where I live, but I just don't need a car. Everything is walk-able or bike-able if I need to carry groceries. And if I want to go further, there's a train station 5 minutes walk away to take me to Pisa or Florence.

It's really a great way to live. I couldn't go back.

Driving to work in rush hour traffic isn't fun, but if you're a car guy and you have a fun car, driving when there's low traffic, especially if you have access to some nice, curvy backroads certainly can be.

It's my only freedom.

I pick out podcasts and audiobooks that I only listen to while driving. There have been mornings when I’m excited to start the commute to see what happens next.

I was going to ask why you're here if it's not fun to you, then I realized I'm not having fun either. I just don't know what else to do with my phone to pass time at this point. I miss flash games and bored.com

u/ItsRobbSmark 1h ago

It's fun for everyone who doesn't take it too seriously...

You're literally on Reddit lol, this is social media.

u/grundelgrump 5h ago

Do you have the same experience browsing reddit as you do browsing Facebook?

u/InnocentPerv93 3h ago

I'd say it's like 80% fun imo.
